[QUOTE="Eloi, post: 5195036, member: 27826"] Practiced Spellcaster feat is very useful. Spells like Haste, Blink and/or Heroism for yourself, then Slow, Crushing Despair, and if you see multiple arcane casters, use that scroll of Chained Feeblemind. Shield and Mage Armor are time-honored favorites. Decide for yourself if this Dragon was able to get his claws on the Stoneskin spell - and if he considers this fight important enough to use it. (250 gp of diamond dust - not cheap.) Be sure you include at least three doses of the diamond dust in the hoard. If your Dragon likes Snatch-augmented flybys, Spectral Hand and a few Shocking Grasp spells can ensure that guy digging through his pack gets love taps even when your breath is recharging and you're "out of range". Also plays hob with the notion some folks have of "let the Dragon come to us". Sometimes you get lone Heroes who think that charging the Dragon with no obvious backup is the best thing ever. Having a Hypnotic Pattern on hand to keep him standing there, gazing at the pretty colors and doing nothing, will often lure the sneaky (but delicious) Cleric or Druid out to heal him. Two rounds is plenty of time to snatch your morsel and take to the skies. Especially useful if your target happens to look like a Barbarian who hasn't decided to Rage yet. [/QUOTE]
